I got a note from Comcast about a channel move. (Removing duplicate PBS stations and shuffling the ones left.) It didn't come through automatically in Schedules Direct so I contacted them and they got Tribune to make the appropriate change eventually and I could see the fix in my SD listing. But the shuffle was incomplete in my TV listings in MythTV. Channel 801 was still showing the old channel info and not the new channel info. No amount of mythfilldatabase calls with various switches fixed it. To fix it, I went into the channel editor in Backend Setup and found 2 channels assigned to 801 so I deleted the one that is no longer correct. Then I discovered I had to do the deletion for my other source too (I had sorted by source and discovered it's easier to sort by channel number w

Yes, mythfilldatabase won't ever change the XMLTV IDs of any of your
channels. Generally, you'd just go into the Channel Editor and find the
channel(s) with the wrong XMLTV ID and change it to the correct (new)
value (on the 2nd screen).
Deleting the old one (as you did) and hoping mythfilldatabase fills it
in would work OK for analog/non-scannable capture devices, but for
digital channels, you'd need to edit, as above, or you'd have to do a
rescan after deleting the (working, and correct) channel (with the wrong
XMLTV ID assigned to it).
